Lolita Cocina & Tequila Bar

You feel like you are walking into a haunted house... it's very dark, and mostly everything is red or black. It's gothic, and seems as if devils or vultures or vampires will pop out behind the corner. It actually is creepy, but in an elegant way if that's possible. The set-up is on different levels, and feels kind of like a cave, almost making you forget Copley plaza is right outside. It truly is transcendental and you feel completely in the moment, afraid to miss a single detail of this experience. Welcome to Lolita's. You and your date will feel transported to a different era, and will have developed a whole new palate that you are able to taste, smell, see and feel by the end of dinner. Your senses are heightened to a new level, and won't be able to be satisfied until you make it back.

Chicago Dance Class

The Red Lantern

The Red Lantern ambiance with its sleek fixtures, low lighting and candles sprinkled throughout the restaurant combined with a DJ who transitioned from mingle-friendly lounge music to danceable 90s hits once people were ready to hit the floor makes it the perfect balance of grown-up and fun. The space itself is a complete refreshing change from anything else: it's huge, with high ceilings offering a more high-end feel without being stuffy. You're never crowded and you can truly enjoy yourself. There's a bar and lounge type area, and several tables with great views of the kitchen and your fellow stylish diners. The cocktails are strong and creative and the food is delicious. If you’re ok dining and dating while dancing in your seat, give The Red Lantern a go.
